Week 2 Reading Reflection

1. The biggest surprise for me in this reading was learning how easy it is to be considered an entrepreneur. It is not restricted to a certain type of person or situation, but rather, a mindset. I had always assumed entrepreneurs were people who created new products or businesses and had the capital to do so.
2. One part of the reading that I found confusing was when the author wrote that the idea that entrepreneurs are inventors is a myth. I find this confusing because I do perceive them as inventors. Not necessarily inventors of just products, but inventors of ideas and new models. To some extent, this "myth" could be true.
3. If I was able to ask the author two questions, I would ask him "what inspired you to learn so much about entrepreneurship and write a book about it?" and "What event made you consider yourself and entrepreneur?" I would ask these questions because often a background on the author can help a reader better understand what they meant in their writings.
4. Aside from the idea that "entreprenuers are inventors" is a myth, I do not disagree with the author on anything else.
